Horse Trailer Converted To A Sauna

Horse Trailer Converted To A Sauna FARM HOME recreation Crister Brunnegard and his wife Maria were watching a TV show about a guy who built a sauna on a small trailer and decided they could do that with their old horse trailer The couple along with their three sons live in Vargarda Sweden They started the project by sketching the sauna they had in mind They cut off the main structure of the old horse trailer then built a new floor that didn’t interfere with the wheels New walls and a ceiling followed along with three windows a stove and chimney The inside was finished with interior paneling The finished sauna measures 11 1/2 by 7 ft and can accommodate six people comfortably Brunnegard says they built over-and-under benches that can also be used as a bed during summer nights The project was completed over two months and cost about $3 000 for materials including wood the stove a chimney and windows Brunnegard used his four-wheeler to pull the sauna next to their lakefront home with the windows overlooking the lake’s rocky shoreline “I could probably pull the sauna to other locations but we prefer that friends come here to use it when we’re not using it ourselves It’s an ideal location ” Brunnegard says saunas are quite common in Sweden “especially if you can put them on the shore of a lake or river or at a scenic spot in the country ” The couple operates Saxentours a private travel company that specializes in guiding Americans with Swedish roots around Sweden learning about where their Swedish ancestors once lived in Sweden They also lead tours to the U S for Swedish farmers to learn about U S agriculture and for other guests who are curious about where Swedish emigrants settled in the U S during the mid-to-late 1800’s Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Saxentours info@saxentours com; www saxentours com
